--- Comment #4 from Aric Stewart aric@codeweavers.com 2012-06-05 07:25:43 CDT --- winecfg is working for me in Arabic.
It may be because you do not have a font or maybe wine is selecting the wrong font.
Could you generate a +font,+uniscribe log?

any fix for this guys?? a lot of my friends confirmed this bug too.
Hello,
Sorry for the delay, I had to reset my ubuntu vm to work on this.
I think part is a font problem. Could you try running notepad?
wine notepad
I notice that winecfg does not display any arabic and some areas are boxes, but notepad seems to be pretty functional.
Also the question would be is the text in the menus correct verses the text inside of the notepad. The code paths for the two are quite different so I would expect potentially quite a number more issues with the text in the menus.
I think the problem with the buttons having boxes instead of glyphs is a font one. I am not sure what font is is trying to use but that font does not have any arabic glyphs.

--- Comment #16 from Aric Stewart aric@codeweavers.com 2013-05-31 13:00:21 CDT --- I am looking but it seems to be a font issue. The font that wine is asking for to display the text in those buttons does not have any Arabic characters.
The fact that notepad works well is great! That makes me hopeful.
Does other Arabic software work?

--- Comment #19 from Aric Stewart aric@codeweavers.com 2013-06-04 09:58:16 CDT --- Comment on attachment 44405 --> http://bugs.winehq.org/attachment.cgi?id=44405 +font,uniscribe-log
The fonts you appear to be using are
MS Shell Dlg -> Tahoma (should work) Arial -> /usr/share/fonts/truetype/msttcorefonts/Arial.ttf (may not have arabic)
if it is the Arial font that is causing the problem there are 2 ways we can try to fix it.
1) substitute Arial for something with arabic.
For this one, run wine regedit open HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE->Software->Microsoft->Windows NT->CurrentVersion->FontSubstitutes
Right click and add new string value with the key of "Arial" then double click on that value and add the name of the font you want to substitute.
2) Add a font link for Arial to something with arabic.
For this one, run wine regedit open HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE->Software->Microsoft->Windows NT->CurrentVersion->FontLink->SystemLink
Right click and add new multi string value named "Arial"
then double click on Arial and add a new value of fontfile,face name
so for example Japanese uses MSGOTHIC.TTC,MS UI Gothic
With Arial defined either of these ways does winecfg improve?
What font are you using for Arabic, Maybe I can install it on my linux box and try to figure it out also.

--- Comment #20 from hannysabbagh hannysabbagh@hotmail.com 2013-06-04 12:36:25 CDT --- Hello.
i don't think that it is a font problem ,because Arial supports Arabic characters , i mean when i use it in my desktop as the default font, i don't face any problems.
i have tried to apply those solutions, but non was successful.. as i said, many fonts supports Arabic characters like Thoama or Arial.. anyway, i use KacstOne font which is specially designed for Arabic.
i think the problem is an Encoding problem, Arabic needs UTF-8 to be displayed correctly, but in wine i think it uses Unicode? is there a way to change Encoding in Wine?
Thank you.

Not only for Arabic also for other languages .
Second limited way that to make "Arial" as default font.

Very Correct.
You can do this by changing "MS Shell Dlg" to Arial.
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE->Software->Microsoft->Windows NT->CurrentVersion->FontSubstitutes
look for MS Shell Dlg which is now set to Tahoma, set it to Arial instead.
That seems to work on my Linux VM in Arabic.

--- Comment #23 from hannysabbagh hannysabbagh@hotmail.com 2013-06-05 09:24:28 CDT --- Hello.
this is finally working for me :) there is another problem which is that the text is not RTL, i mean when you write an English word with an Arabic text, it won't be displayed correctly as it is.
anyway, is there a way to add this fix to the next Wine release? :) thanks.

Quick question here.
Do you have Arabic windows? The question would be what these registry values are on arabic windows.
We cannot make the change for "MS Shell Dlg 2" and the like to Sans if that is not the way it is done on windows.
Also changing the Tahoma font links and the default values in nls_update_font_list is going to be hard to justify.
Now if the problem is that our Tahoma does not have enough glyphs, and windows does, then we can argue to expand the Tahoma font link to cover glyphs that are present in windows Tahoma and not present in ours.
I have worked an alternative patch. Does this work?

Arabic Windows has a "Comic sans ms" for both MS Shell Dlg and MS Shell Dlg 2 .
So I used Sans family .
Expand Tahoma looks like a solve , but by your patch it isn't work .
I patched Wine 1.5.31 by new patch and compile it the bug still found .
Sans must be in nls_update_font_list not only for Arabic also for non-English languages .

Ok thanks. What version of windows?
"Comic Sans MS" is different than just "Sans". You use "Sans" a lot of places. is that correct?
The problem persists. What about if you did more of your wine.inf changes...
HKLM,%FontSubStr%,"Traditional Arabic",,"Sans" HKLM,%FontSubStr%,"Arabic Transparent",,"Sans" HKLM,%FontSubStr%,"Abyssinica SIL",,"Sans"
I am unsure which font is used for "Sans" could you give me a +font log.
I would love for this to be in 1.6 as well. That is what I am working toward.

It occurs to me that there is a direct fix to this.
We have the Arabic block wrong then and we can fix it. You have Arabic windows 7.
Looking at HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\FontSubstitutes
Could you export that key and show it to me. Then I can update the arabic block in freetype.c and it should work.

How about cloning "MS Shell Dlg" mechanism for "Ms Shell Dlg 2" ?
2 problems.
1) Your reg files show that on windows MS Shell Dlg 2 is clearly set to Tahoma.
2) Setting just MS Shell Dlg 2 to Microsoft Sans Serif did not resolve the problem at all for me using UltraISO. So there is something more going on.

Hello,
Yes looking at windows 7 tahoma.ttf, it contains Arabic characters which our tahoma font lacks.
I did some work this morning to include the Arabic glyphs and lookups from DejaVu (which is public domain and it appears much of our tahoma is already based on)
I cannot guarantee I did it all correctly. I tried. If it looks good I will submit this patch to get wine's tahoma to display arabic.

The shaping looks fine, but it lacks any mark anchors so Arabic combining marks are badly positioned. I may be able to work on the Arabic support if you can point me to the latest SFD file(s) of Wine’s Tahoma.

Correction: there are mark to mark anchors but no mark to base nor mark to ligature which are more important.

Then I will try to do similar with tahoma bold as well.

I can work on ensuring they are metric compatible, but that is a bit of work and would take few days.

That would be IDEAL! Thank you very much. That is work I cannot do.
How would you like to do that. Should I submit these versions and then you work from there for the patched new versions?
Or would you like to work from here and then submit the final version.
Submitting this version has the advantage that then Arabic testers can start testing and translating even if the font metrics are incorrect. Though it is a little bit sloppier.

Created attachment 44754 [details] problem found at un-Arabic session .
Another problem that when run an application contain Arabic characters under non-Arabic session , or when ( LANG ) variable doesn't equal ar ( or similar ) .
This is expected. Running a program in a miss-matched locale almost always fails.
In Windows there is an ability to choose the main language to read in multi-language places .
This script emulate that ^_^
After select language at ( local-wine ) script , you can run ( wine-loc ) as localized wine , eg :
wine-loc notepad
If this function included in winecfg , this problem will fix . The script need almasa-gtkdialog library http://linux.softpedia.com/get/Programming/Libraries/Almasa-Gtkdialog-97646.... =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=

Created attachment 44787 [details] Wine Localization Script .
There's no need for that, you're just supposed to set LANG properly before running Wine.
In Windows there is an ability to choose the main language to read in multi-language places .
That's what LANG does for Wine already.

I don't mean to include this script , just make a button on winecfg for selection of local .
This is an interesting situation.
In CrossOver we have an option to be able to set the locale of a given wine environment. The truth is that very few people ever use it. We have found that most users want everything in the locale of their system. It is only the developer or power user that has issues.
And generally having them set the LANG variable on their terminal or system locale works ok.
I am personally very interested in this feature because I am one of those power users who would love to be able to set the locale of each wine prefix.
I say you should open a new bug requesting this enhancement.
